The US voted with Russia, Iran and North Korea (among others) at the UN yesterday.

Republicans don't seem to be invoking the name of Ronald Reagan anymore.

Hmmmmmmm....

TSLA Stock share price:

From election night to inauguration: Up over 2/3.
From inauguration to now: Down over 25%

Investors don't like what's happened since the Trump/Musk chainsaw came out.

Donold says he’s standing up for persecuted Christians…unless they’re Catholic bishops pleading for mercy, then they’re ‘radical leftists.’

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

If Elon was actually looking for fraud, he'd be hiring forensic accountants—not a bunch of programmers.

....and I'm a programmer. (Ok, I also have an accounting background)

Prediction: We're not taking over Gaza. What Trump is doing is making the media spin in circles while more of his and Musk's minions loot the government.

Ummm... South Africa is RETURNING LAND TO IT'S ORIGINAL OWNERS..

Oh, now I see your objection.
It was only a matter of time before he backed the return of Apartheid, especially with Musk whispering in that miraculously healed ear.

If, 4 years ago, you would have told me that Elon Musk would be doing Putin's work, I wouldn't have believed you.
Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

"Did you know" -> "I just found out"
"People are saying" -> "I'm making this up"
"We'll see what happens" -> "I have no idea what's happening"
"Fake news" -> "This info makes me look bad"
"Believe me" -> "I'm lying"

Hey Caitlyn Jenner? How do you feel about supporting the guy who just signed an Executive Order declaring that you are now back to being "Bruce"?

Just a simple powerwalk to get the bones going again. Need to start doing more as I haven’t done much lately.

Business trip to Florida. Pre-dawn. Depending on the Chase Sapphire Lounge for breakfast. It’s closed for 10 days so they’re giving out snack boxes instead.

I wonder if New Hampshire could be South Quebec... I like the idea of my taxes going to healthcare, education, housing, day care and, you know, THE PEOPLE.

You don't need to make stuff up to dig at Elon Musk.

He's not a "daddy's boy". Errol Musk is not who you think he is - he's a reprehensible, abusive, disgusting pig of a man - ask any member of that family. There's a reason they fled to Canada. South Africa has NOTHING to do with Musk's wealth.

Intervals were just a suggestion. Went the entire last mile without a walk break. Chilly and windy after Florida but it’s all good! One more race for the year. Can’t believe it’s already time to start signing up for next year!
